License is a must along with a high-performance computer. Chances of having both with early-stage developers are very thin, hence it creates a steep learning curve. I think around 10% of users opt for the paid versions after their initial training at college/workplace, which can be improved by providing open licenses for a little longer duration, i.e., a year.
